read over amcas, sdn

What impressed you positively?

good clinical training. you'll see a lot of different things at kings county hospital the dorm is right across the school and it has a nice gym in the basement w/swimming pool

What impressed you negatively?

facilities are by far the worst i've ever seen. lecture hall was falling apart. anatomy lab was just as run-down as the surrounding neighborhood.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

bring a bullet-proof vest (j/k, but i've heard some crazy stories)

What are your general comments?

overall the interview itself was not stressful. director of admissions (who is very nice, maybe too nice) was pretty firm about not giving stress interviews for admission. but there was an INCREDIBLE amount of downtime. basically they wanted me to come in at 9am for my interview. the interview ended up coming about an hour late and i finished around 10:30 or so. the tour/lunch did not start until 12:30. so we just sat there in waiting room for basically 2 hours watching this video about the history of brooklyn and how wondeful it is to live there. the tape actually ended and we ended up watching the damned thing twice. i fell asleep waiting. so overall, the interview day seemed extremely disorganized.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
